Vanessa Arbuthnott Fabrics – The Forest Collection<\/h2>\n

We are thrilled to introduce you to Vanessa\u2019s latest fabric creation, The Forest Collection<\/a>. Her immersion in nature has inspired this collection of forest style fabrics<\/a> perfect for our made to measure curtains, furniture and home furnishings.<\/p>\n

Themes inspired by natural woodlands and forests brings the outside in like only Vanessa can! Ever conscious of the environment, inherent in Vanessa\u2019s work practices and mirrored in her designs which burst with beautiful imagery of the world around us.<\/p>\n

[ez-toc]<\/p>\n

During the Spring of 2021 when museums were closed and travel was limited, it was the natural world around her which fueled her imagination. Vanessa spent many hours experimenting with the art of potato printing, carving, and then hand printing more and more intricate and delicate shapes. Exploring the interplay between negative and positive spaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe flawless and fascinating shapes of ferns have captivated me since I was a child. I would while away hours walking through forests and woods, collecting fern fronds and taking them home to press and draw. I was endlessly captivated by their forms; sometimes symmetrical and other times not<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

A little behind the scenes, where the magic happens in Vanessa\u2019s kitchen with the humble potato.<\/p>\n

\"Little\u00a0\u00a0\"Various\u00a0\u00a0\"Potato<\/p>\n

Here is Vanessa speaking first hand about her design process<\/a>, including the potato prints and process above, in our \u2018New Forest\u2019 highlights on Instagram.<\/p>\n

New designs for 2022<\/h3>\n

Five designs in a total of 27 colourways.\u00a0 Four are printed on a unique eco-cloth, woven from 60% linen and 40% organic cotton yarns especially for Vanessa in Lancashire, Britain. The fifth design is my first foray into embroidered We have introduced beautiful new colours including Ochre, Lichen, Marigold and Moss.\u00a0 The fifth fabric design is a most striking, contemporary woven stripe in an earthy soft orange called Carrot.<\/p>\n

All of the new colours have been carefully chosen to compliment Vanessa\u2019s colour palette allowing seamless integration with previous collections and current trends.<\/p>\n

Wild Fern<\/h3>\n

This is a simple, printed asymmetrical stylized fern leaf \u2013 with shapes down the centre reflecting the line of dotty structures you see on the reverse of fronds, commonly called fruit dots. As flowerless plants, ferns use these structures as cases that hold their reproductive material<\/em><\/p>\n
